Cheap Interior Car Lighting

From Tom Cassidy, Chief Photographer, WPIX-TV, New York

I stumbled upon a flashlight made by EVEREADY that has over the years become my secret weapon(s) for interior car lighting. The flashlight is about 6 inches long is flat and uses a fluorescent bulb. It will fit in the middle of a steering wheel, in the sun visor, on the dashboard, even on the ceiling. I have put this sucker and at times several of them almost everywhere in a car (with the help of some “G” tape) It has provided me with some of the most natural “source” lighting you can get. The best part is they’re only $6—take seconds to install and can be stored anywhere!

This tip works! I’ve got one like this minus the flashlight part. I’ve used it in countless ride alongs and such. Mine has a white cover over the bulb that produces an even soft light. Great for your bag of tricks.
